Getting Started at Kent: What to do now

In order to avoid delays to your registration, you must complete the steps below before you arrive

You must:

1. Complete your online enrolment

You will need your Kent ID number to enrol and this will be notified to you via a 'How to enrol' message in your Kent applicant portal intray. You will be sent an email to let you know when this message appears in your intray. Please do not attempt to enrol until you have received your Kent ID
number. If you are studying in Brussels, you should view the Brussels pages.

Failure to complete all the enroment stages will result in delays to
your registration and your access to student/campus activities.

If your course requires you to choose modules, you can do this from 26 August if you’re a new undergraduate student, and from 14 September if you’re a taught postgraduate. You need to have claimed your IT account first.

Help with choosing your modules

You can find all the necessary information to assist you in selecting your modules, along with the undergraduate handbooks, on the relevant websites:

Once you have logged in to the Student Data System, follow the links to Online Module Registration to check whether you need to choose your modules.

Most full-time students are required to choose modules online, although some programmes do not have optional modules in the first year of study.

If you are a short-term or exchange student, you are not required to choose your modules online. Staff from International Development will arrange this.

Part-time students cannot choose modules online. If you are studying part-time, you should contact your Academic School.

If you are joining one of the Kent International Pathways programmes (International Foundation Programme/Graduate Diploma), you will be contacted directly by the Centre for English and Word Languages before you arrive regarding arrangements for your module choice selection.
